You Don’t Find Purpose — You Follow It


 

Back then, I thought purpose was something I had to chase down — some big mystery I had to solve before I could start living. But now I’ve realized: purpose isn’t a trophy for the qualified — it’s a road for the obedient.

You don’t find purpose like it’s buried treasure. You walk into it, one obedient yes at a time.

I used to think purpose was a spotlight moment.
Now I know — it’s a series of small obedience in the dark.
Not a stage. A cross.
Not applause. An altar.

Purpose isn’t about what makes me feel alive — it’s about what God breathed into me when He formed me in secret. It’s about becoming the kind of vessel He can trust with His heart, not just His assignments.

Some truths I’ve learned:

  • You can be “doing great things” and still be off-purpose.

  • You can be hidden and silent and still be directly in step with God’s will.

  • Your gifts aren’t your purpose — they’re tools. Your calling is to Christ.

We get stuck asking, “What am I called to do?” when we should be asking, “Who am I becoming?” Because if you become the right kind of man — He’ll reveal the right kind of mission.

Rejection: A False Verdict That Doesn't Define You

Image
Rejection doesn’t break you — but your interpretation of it might. I used to say, “accept yourself,” thinking that was enough. But I’ve seen now that the ache to be chosen runs deeper than self-help can heal. Rejection doesn't mean there is something wrong with you — sometimes it’s actually a divine boundary. A line drawn by God to pull you away from false attachments and into truth. In the past, I ran toward people who didn’t want me. I handed them the pen to write my worth. Each "no" felt like erasure. But now I ask: Why does their validation determine my stability? If Christ calls me beloved, why do I treat human silence like divine judgment? What if rejection isn’t what we’ve believed? What if rejection isn’t  not the end. It’s redirection. What if rejection isn’t s hame? what if It’s separation from what doe...

Who Told You You Weren’t Enough?

  Who Told You , You Weren’t Enough?  Adam hid when he realized he was naked. But the question God asked wasn’t “Why are you naked?” It was, “Who told you that you were?” (Genesis 3:11) This is where the false scripts begin — someone says something or doesn't say anything at all — and we start building an identity out of insecurity. I used to think “accepting myself” meant being okay with my flaws.  I spent years asking, ‘Who told me I wasn’t enough?’—until I realized the louder question was, ‘Who told me  their opinion  was the verdict?’   Now I believe that even the flaws are not just lovable but loved by the one whose Love can truly heal. Self-help tries to make you okay with it, to accept something you hate deep down but The Gospel enables you to accept and love yourself because you now fully loved and accepted by a person that was willing to do anything to have a relationship with you...

Man Enough: Dismantling the Masculinity That Was Never Christ’s

Image
  The world sells you a mask: never cry, never bend, never need. But Christ wore no mask—He sweat blood in prayer  (Luke 22:44) , asked friends to stay awake with Him  (Matt. 26:38) , and cried over a city that rejected Him  (Luke 19:41) and wept when his friend Lazarus died (John 11:35) . If the Son of God wasn’t afraid of His own humanity, why are you?" Philippians 2:5-10 says : 5, For* let this mindset be in you°, which was also in Christ Jesus:      6, who, existing in the form of God, did not deem it a seizure to be equal to God,      7, but emptied himself, having taken the form of a bondservant, when* he became in the likeness of men; -- the God of the universe chose surrender.     8, and having been found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, when* he became obedient as far as death, and even death from a cross. --- the most vulnerable moment in history became the most victorious.     9, Hence, God also hig...
